Shulkernity
by Janicek_250
Shulkernity lets players place shulker boxes inside other shulker boxes, removing the vanilla restriction on nesting.
What it does
In vanilla Minecraft a shulker box cannot be placed inside another shulker box. Shulkernity removes that restriction, so a player can store one shulker box within another and keep building that chain. A tooltip on each box shows how deep it sits within the nesting, which helps players track where a given item is stored.
The depth of nesting is limited by a configurable cap, set to a maximum of 64 levels, so server owners can decide how far storage may go. The cap can be adjusted directly in-game with a built-in command. The mod requires Fabric API and runs on Fabric only, with files for 17 release versions, under All rights reserved.
Shulkernity runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. The lead and the nesting rules are applied by the server, which makes it a server-side only mod for storage and inventory management.
Key features
Nested storage
Shulker boxes can be placed inside other shulker boxes, which extends vanilla storage without new blocks.
Customizable nesting cap
Server owners set the maximum nesting depth, up to 64 levels, and can change it in-game with a command.
Depth tooltip
A tooltip on each shulker box shows how many levels deep it is nested inside other boxes.
Vanilla-style gameplay
The nesting rules fit vanilla gameplay without changing how boxes are crafted or opened.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Server owners who want to extend vanilla shulker box storage, and players who need more room for sorting items in survival or multiplayer worlds.
